[MW:29146] Re: Repairing a brazed crack by TIG / MIG Welding

Hi

My answer based on general welding guidelines in your case as I have no practical exp in your issue.One thing,you didn't specify the base material & brazing filler wire details.

However back to topic, as TIG/MIG is a fusion welding process where a braze joint I consider as a partial solid state bonding process & are not considered as strength welds.

Now two possible scenario:

1. You remove the earlier braze joint completely and welded with TIG which will offer the optimal strength between the weld metal and the base metal

2. Failure to remove completely the braze weld and welded further with TIG will leave a weak point in terms of strength joint between the weld joining line of braze to base metal.

Hope it make sense.

Please enlighten on the following:

1) We are repairing aero turbine shrouds by detecting cracks on them and then repairing surface cracks by conducting vacuum brazing.

2) However, this does not last long and when the shrouds return for repairs can we fill in the brazed cracks by TIG / MIG welding on the brazed surface.

3) I will not be able to share BPS or WPS for proprietory constraints.

4) Alternately the question may be that Can we TIG or MIG weld on the brazed joint to repair.
